Antibody responses to purified protein derivate PPD of tuberculin and to antigens MPB63 and MPB83 of Mycobacterium bovis were determined in bovine herd (94 adult animals). Statistical approach based on approximation by multiple Gaussians with Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm for analysis of antibody level distribution against antigens examined was provided. Our results confirm that indirect ELISA with recombinant MPB83 and MPB63 as well as conventional PPD could be used for test-systems development for detection of cow tuberculosis infection at the herd level.

    Content validity was clearly established as each item in the BPII achieved a minimum of 83.3% agreement (range, 83.3%-100%) for relevance among the expert panelists. The average agreement was 96.9%; 24 items achieved 100% agreement. There was no evidence of floor or ceiling effects. Reliability (inte...

    We consider the estimation of the mediation effect when the outcome is binary and multiple mediators of different types exist. We give a precise definition of the total mediation effect as well as decomposed mediation effects through individual or sets of mediators using the potential outcomes frame...
